    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide systems and methods for determining an estimated orientation and/or position of a user's head using worn ear pieces and leveraging the estimated head orientation and/or position to provide information to the user. In one exemplary method, first and second spatial positions of respective first and second ear pieces worn by a user may each be determined. Based at least in part on the first and second spatial positions of the respective first and second ear pieces, an estimated orientation of the user's head may be determined. The method may further include requesting information to be provided to the user based at least in part on the estimated orientation of the user's head and providing contextual information to the user responsive to the request.
